Vibrational Spectra of Triphenyl Compounds of Group VA Elements

Abstract
The infrared and Raman spectra of triphenyl compounds of Group VA elements PPh3, AsPh3, SbPh3, and BiPh3 (Ph represents the phenyl group), have been reported in the 530–100 cm−1 region. The metal-phenyl stretching and bending vibrations have been assigned with the aid of approximate normal coordinate analysis and depolarization ratios of Raman lines.
